How Are We Related?

I’m not getting any of the app crashes other people are mentioning - iOS 18.1.1, iPhone 16 Pro. Works like a charm. Here’s my old review: I'm often at a family event where we get seated at a table with someone related that we don't know. The way it works is that you fill in 2 blanks, such as 1) "if my X" is 2) "your Y" then hit submit and it shows you how you are related. It would be great if that's all it did, but since I sometimes don't even know that much, it's even better than that. For "X" I put in "mother's uncle's grandson" and it immediately reduces that down to "second cousin." Sometimes, that's all I want to know. If that is the other person's nephew "Y," it tells me that person is my first cousin once removed. That sounds counter intuitive somehow, but it works! Now I can imagine being at a wedding, and someone I meet says "how are we related?" And everybody whips out their phones... lol

Whenever I type in a relationship, it either doesn’t comprehend or it simply closes out of the app. When I downloaded this, I thought it would be helpful to quickly figure out relationships for my genealogy work, but it’s just a waste. One star.

I tried this app today for the first time. I have a new cousin and we connect through my gg grandfather. After gg grandfather’s daughter failed, I typed out the words great great grandfather’s daughter. It told me that was an invalid entry. At the moment the creator obviously hasn’t through about the people you are likely to meet. What with DNA connecting us with 5th and 6th cousins this could be a fantastic program. However at the basic level the app is at now, many people can figure that one out themselves. Some developers read their reviews, some don’t. To make sure they get the message, go to the developers website (usually shown in the app info) and leave a message there. I just did.
